Audi S5 Sportback B8 (8T) facelift Sedan (2012-2016)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Audi S5 Sportback B8 (Typ 8T) facelift is a compact executive sedan in production from 2012 to 2016. It was powered by a supercharged V6 engine (mistakenly labelled as V6T) that displaced 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, Audi chiefly modified the front bumper and headlight assembly. The vehicle is largely identical otherwise.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi S5 Sportback B8 comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
